AGRIOULIURAL IMPLEMENT.

Application filed April 1a. 1919.

To a V /tom a W'Htj/ con/MW 7 lie t trnwrn that .l. SAMUEL SIDNEY CARY, a (fltlZEH oil? the United States, residing at llpclo i in e parish of St. Landry and fltzxta of .ana. have invented certain 1101. new and 'uselul Improvements in Agricut rural implements, oil. which the -llol lowing is a specification. reference being had to the 2: even ipa uyin drawings;

Thi invention relates to certain improveunin agricultural implements and has re lation more 'iarticularly to an implement oi. this general character especially designed and adapted :tor use as a stubble shaver, and i t is an, object oi? the invention to provide a novel. and improved implement positioned adjacent a pair oi transversely spaced plows and which comprises two coacting cutting members operating to share the top of the stubble rows.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in, the combination and arrangennmt oi? the several parts of my improved agricultural implement whereby eertain important advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageou for use as will be hereinafter more fully forth.

The novel Features 01 my invention will hereinatter be definitely claimed.

in order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to de scribe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

lligure 1 is a fragmentary view in top plan illustrating an implement constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my in vention.

E2 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of the structure as illustrated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view in front elevation of the Q-TOSS lllclllllel as herein employed, and

Fig. l is a diagrammatic view illustrating the working of the implement.

As disclosed. .'n the accompanying draw" ings, B denotes a pair of plow beams of any desired construction and which are arranged in transverse spaced relation so that the plows I carried thereby may work the ground at opposite sides of a row and particularly a cane row. The plows P are each Specification el. Letters Patent.

Serial No. 289,975.

."dl'm. U directed and with said foot substantially flush with the lower portion of the adjacent plow l. The :lree or rear end portion of the foot (4 is provided with an outwardly directed. pin 52 or the like with which pivotal] y engaged the forward end portion. oi a rearwardly directed arm 3, which are: is capable ot winging movement in a vertical path.

The rear extremities of the arms 3 are connected. by a cross member M so that the arms 1-3 will have swinging movement in unison and in the same general direction. The member M is substantially in the form of an inverted U and the lower extremities oi? the side arms -flthereof are provided with the inwardly directed extensions 5 resting upon the rear portions of the arms 3 and secured thereto by the vertically disposed bolts 6 or the like.

The bolts 6 extend below the arms 3 and serve as mountings for the horizontally disposed cutting disks 1). The disks D are of such diamete as to have their adjacent pell} )llGlll3F- (o erlapping so that said disks l) bridge the space between the arms 3.

In practi e. the plows P are arranged at OPPOl-ilttl sides of a cane row or the like and each of said plows turns a furrow away from the cent-m". leaving a stubble row. The disks tollow the plows at the desired. depth and operate to shave the top of the stubble row. As is illustratwl in Fig. at, the plows cut the opposite side portions of a row R, as diagrammatically illustrated by the lines or while the disks D shave the upper or apex portion of the row R substantially on the line as indicated in said Fig. 4.

From the foregoing description, it is then it to beobvious that an agricultural imp. cent constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof: and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the'several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim:

1. In combination with the sheths of a pair of transversely separated beams, rearwardly directed brackets secured to said sheths, arms pivotally engaged with said brackets for vertical swinging movement, a cross member connecting said arms, and disks rotatably supported by the arms, said disks rotating about substantially vertical axes. 1 H In combination with the sheths of a pair of transversely separated beams, rear Wardly directed brackets secured to said sheths, arms pivotally engaged with said brackets for vertical swinging movement, across member connecting said arms, and

disks rotatably supported by the arms, said disks rotating about substantially vertical axes, said cross member being substantially in the form of an inverted U.

3. In combination with the sheths of a pair of transversely spaced beams, rearwardly directed brackets secured to said sheths, outwardly directed pins carried by the brackets, rearwardly directed arms pivotally engaged with said pins for vertical swinging movement, a cross member connecting said arms, and disks rotatably supported by the arms, said disks rotating about substantially vertical axes.

In testimony whereof I hereunto allix my signature in the presence of: two witnesses.
